This Saturday i drove my kitcar for thirst time on Zandvoort (A1 GP circuit in NL) it was cool saying that i ran into some teething problems but hey thats pretty normal i guess

This song is one of my favorites and i wanted to thank you all of you. For basicly being there when i might needed you.

So how did it go?? Was the 800 v4 good? Bad? What issues did you have?

Sorry for all the questions, I'm just very interested in others experiences.

well obviously it isn't a BUSA or ZX12R never seen one driveing saying that in this trim the car is still fast enough for me.

i will need to take of the cats and cure my fueling / gear change problem to give you a better answer on that.

but the handling is perfect! and i even haven't got the setup of the front perfect!

Problems wich arrose:

- We where stuck in 3gear for most of the
time (my gear change system didn't work
while driveing (it does when stationairy)

- if i applied full throttle then the engine shotout, and then eventualle came back in.
(no swirl pot i guess)

- no tank breather i thought always my tank would breath through the key opening it DOESN'T (we solved this with a hole in filler hose )

- My transmission box heated up like a stoove! saying that the heat isn't a mechanical problem (we think of overfill with oil and no breather) any one suggestions???)

Tks

Glad to see its on the road and you're happy with it

I think it might be worthwhile to think about lowering your seats / raising your rollbar as a first mod though, at its current height it might stop your shoulder hitting the ground but only after its taken your head off

This saturday your words where confirmed!

I could not enter the circuit because of the height of the rollbar....

4hr of driveing etc. etc. for nothing...
= driveing on a parking lane...

saying that my acc stuk some times.. sow it wasn't that bad after all...

think i will weld on a couple of banana's..

(will open different thread for advice..)

Great news walter, only small problems.

I hought you had fixed the gear shift back to the normal clutch shift then.
